Clinical information

Diagnosis:

Combined naevus with mostly nonpigmented 'Blitz naevus' component

Comments:

The centrobasal component of this lesion shows a cell cell type very similar to intradermal spindle-cell Spitz naevus cells. Since Spitz naevi and their variants typically show dimiuition in cellularity and cell size towards the base, an interpretation of this component as a non-pigmented blue naevus / deep penetrating naevus variant is preferred. The regular overall appearance, the absence of mitotic activity and the absence of significant nuclear atypia argue against melanoma.

This site is entirely based on consultation materials of professor Wolter Mooi, VU University Amsterdam, and can be used free of charge.
